Postgraduate Program

The UBC Family Practice Residency Program is resourced, coordinated, and supported through the Department of Family Practice. It is a two-year program accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

We use a distributed model of education, whereby training is delivered at 19 sites across British Columbia, ranging from large urban centres to rural regions.

Residents prepare for evidence-based practice by gaining direct experience working in hospital and community-based settings, and by engaging in a wide variety of scholarly activities.

Midwifery Program

UBC offers the only Midwifery Program in western Canada. The program functions as an independent unit within the Department of Family Practice.

Students complete several clinical placements across the province, including at least one placement in a rural setting. The four-year undergraduate degree prepares graduates for direct entry into midwifery practice.
